I really liked it. Dinklage definitely gives a very subtle performance that works really well. And Bobby Cannavale's enthusiasm is pretty damn infectious. I loved his character.

I'm watching season 3 of Boardwalk Empire, and man, does Bobby Cannavale go in a different direction... good interview on NPR a while back, too.

He's really great in Boardwalk Empire as Gyp. One of the most menacing characters on that show. He's just solid in everything. Hilarious in The Other Guys and Modern Family too.

I had only seen Cannavale in Third Watch before I saw him in The Station Agent and I was really impressed with him afterwards. So earnest and just desperately wants to be friends with Finn. Love this flick.

Definitely. People are making fun of Dinklage and he defends him and genuinely wants to just be friends with him. Cannavale feels like an outsider there and sees Dinklage as one as well. He doesn't see him as a dwarf outsider, just as an outsider. Like when he asks him that earnest question about whether his people have clubs. And he was actually talking about train people, not dwarves.
